The New York Knicks are set to play the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of their first-round series on Wednesday.

J.R. Smith, who was suspended for Game 4’s 97-90 overtime loss, believes the series would be over had he been available. Smith was forced to sit out one game after he hit Jason Terry with an elbow to the chin near the end of Game 3.

With Smith out, the Celtics focused more of their defensive efforts toward stopping Carmelo Anthony and forced him into 10-of-35 shooting. The Knicks did get added contribution from Raymond Felton and Iman Shumpert, but it just wasn’t enough to overcome Boston and close the series.

Jason Terry played one of his best games as a Celtics with 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting and four assists in 41 minutes.

Smith was not impressed. When asked about Terry’s performance, Smith responded, "Who? I don't even know who that is."

But he knew. Smith watched the game on television as Terry put in nine points in overtime. He’ll be back Wednesday, and Smith expects the Knicks to right its mistakes.

"It was very tough to watch," Smith said. "Especially that first half. I mean, from the turnovers to missing shots. ... It wasn't the easiest thing ever.

"I wasn't pleased with it. My teammates wasn't either. I'll get the chance to make up for it tomorrow."
